INTRODUCTION

• The PARAGON 2000 Plus Remote as been designed and tested to the requirements of EN 509 and is suitable

for use in GB (Great Britain) and IE (Ireland).

• The PARAGON 2000 Plus Remote incorporates a single gas control, which selects ignition pilot, with variable

setting between low and high settings. The appliance is operated via a remote control hand set.

• This appliance is intended for decorative purposes.

• The PARAGON 2000 Plus Remote is available in two versions Natural Gas or LPG (Propane Gas Only). The

markings (G20 for natural gas or G31 for propane) on the packaging and the data badge specify the gas for

which the appliance has been factory set. Note: These appliances should only be used on the appropriate gas

specified. They are not suitable for conversion from one gas to the other.

• The pilot can be left on (standby setting) or the pilot can be extinguished and relit each time the fire is used.

• Like all appliances incorporating an aerated burner a low frequency noise may be heard, this may be more

noticeable on the low setting.

• The chimney or flue (unless new) must be swept before installation if it has been used for solid fuel.

• It is advised that this appliance is serviced annually, this is more likely to provide trouble-free operation.

• This appliance has a naked flame, as with all such fires it is recommended that a fireguard should be used for

the protection of children, the elderly and infirm. Fireguards should conform to BS 6539 (1984) (Fireguards for

use with solid fuel appliances).

6 LT5050 (ISS 14)

The PARAGON 2000 Plus R is battery operated; therefore no mains electrical supply is required. Power to the

appliance is provided by 6 high power alkaline 1.5V batteries (AA size) (a spare set of 6 AA batteries is supplied

with the appliance); these batteries can be changed to Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries providing they

have a minimum capacity of 2200 mAh. A set of 6 high power alkaline 1.5V batteries (AA size) would give in the

order of 200 -380 operations while 6 rechargeable batteries when fully charged would give approximately 200-

300 operations. These figures are only given for guidance and may vary depending on how the appliance is used

and the battery manufacturer and quality.

Using the standby facility when the appliance is switched off for short periods can extend battery life. The standby

facility switches off the mains gas supply to the appliance but the pilot remains alight.

An audible repeated bleep warning indicates that the appliance batteries need changing or charging (if

rechargeable batteries have been used).

Important: Batteries should be changed or recharged as soon as possible as the appliance will not light if the

battery power gets too low.

The appliance incorporates a safety device in the form of an Oxygen Depletion System, which constantly monitors

the oxygen in the room and will cause the fire to switch off if the oxygen level reduces, for instance due to

insufficient ventilation or a blocked flue.

If this regularly occurs do not attempt to relight the appliance until a qualified engineer has checked it, the

problem may not be due to lack of air or a defective flue.

A fire front (fret) must be used with this appliance.

In GB, the appliance must be installed by a competent person i.e. Gas Safe-registered, in accordance with the GAS

SAFETY (INSTALLATION AND USE) REGULATIONS, The Building Regulations (or The Building Regulations (Scotland)

or The Building Regulations (Northern Ireland)) and The Current I.E.E. Wiring Regulations, if appropriate.

In IE, the appliance must be installed by a competent person and installed in accordance with the current edition

of I.S.813 Domestic Gas Installation, the current Building Regulations and the current ETCI rules for electrical

installation ,if appropriate.

In the Republic of Ireland, permanent ventilation must be provided in accordance with the regulation in force (I.S.

813).

It is important that: -

The chimney or flue is checked annually to ensure clearance of combustion products.

Any purpose-built ventilation should be checked periodically to ensure freedom from obstruction.

Any debris from the chimney or flue should be removed. The fire should be allowed to cool for three to four

hours before removing debris.

Rubbish must not be thrown onto the coal/pebble bed under any circumstances.

The cast fire front must be positioned in front of the fire whilst it is burning.


Warning:- This appliance has a naked flame, has with all fires it is recommended that a

fireguard should be used for the protection of children, the elderly and infirm.

Fireguards should conform to BS 6539 (1984) (fireguards for use with solid fuel appliances).

During the normal operation of the fire some black staining may appear on some parts of the fuel bed. This is

quite normal and adds to the appearance of the appliance. However, if excessive black staining does occur it may

be due to the fuel bed being incorrectly laid. This should be checked against the Fuel Bed Layout in Section Three,

prior to contacting a service engineer.

Pilot Cleaning (Before cleaning ensure that the appliance is turned off and cold)

In some instances you may experience ignition problems even when the appliance

is new. This may be due to the aeration hole in the pilot body (see photograph)

being partial blocked with dust, pet hairs or other foreign matter. The source of

this debris could be such things as carpet fibres, decorating or pets etc.

To clean the pilot, remove the fire front and ashpan. The pilot is located on

the right hand side of the appliance, any debris in or around the aeration

hole should be removed using the nozzle of a vacuum cleaner. It is

advisable not to blow the debris into the hole as this may cause more of a

restriction and not rectify the problem.

Fret

A Fret must be used with this appliance, and must conform to the following: -

• It must be made from non-combustible material.

• Its general construction should enable it to stand firmly across the full width of the

• burner.

• The design of the fire front (fret) must have a removable ash-pan cover (lower section).

• The ashpan cover must have cut-outs and or holes which provide ventilation to the underside of the burner.

• The effective area of ventilation through the ash-pan cover must be greater than 1365mm2 (2.12 sq. ins.)

SECTION TWO Operating the Appliance (user instructions) Before attempting to operate the appliance check that nothing

has been placed in front of the appliance that may interfere with

the remote sensor operation.

To light the appliance using the remote hand set:

A. Point the remote control hand set in the direction of the

appliance and simultaneously press the buttons marked ‘

OFF’ and ‘standby’. Continue to hold in these two

buttons until a ‘bleep’ is heard (approximately 2-3 sec.)

and then release these buttons. The appliance will

automatically go through the ignition sequence and the

pilot should ignite. Once the pilot is alight the appliance

will automatically go to the high setting (approximately

20-25sec). If the ignitor stops sparking and the pilot fails

to light, repeat this procedure.

B. The appliance can be adjusted up or down by pressing the appropriate button ' '

(low setting) or ' '

(high setting).There are 5 heat settings and the fire will give a double bleep when the maximum or

minimum heat setting is reached. To switch off the appliance press the OFF ' '

button or if the appliance

is to be switch off for a short period it is recommended that the ‘standby’ button be used. This switches

the main burner off but leaves the pilot on and will extend battery life.

C. The appliance can be switched off without using the hand set by removing the appliance batteries located

behind the ash pan cover. When the batteries are removed there will be a delay (up to 3minutes) after

which double bleeps may be heard and shortly after the appliance will extinguish. Ensure that the battery

is reconnected once the fire as been extinguished. The appliance cannot be operated without the use of

the handset. If the fire fails to light or extinguishes for any reason, it will be necessary to re-set the fire.

This can be done by pressing the OFF button then following the normal lighting procedure.

NOTE: If the fire is extinguished for any reason wait 3 minutes before relighting.


Low Battery Indication (Hand Set)

If while pressing any of the buttons on the remote hand

set the low battery indicator lamp either stops flashing or

appreciably slows then the battery should be changed.

To Replace Batteries In Hand SET (aaa 1.5 v lr3 X2)

Remove the cover from the rear of the handset and fit

replacement batteries, taking care not to strain the

battery connections.

LOW BATTERY INDICATION (APPLIANCE)

If you hear a repeated ‘bleep’ sound come from the appliance this indicates the appliance battery pack is low and

should be changed as soon as possible. The appliance will continue to work normally for a short period but if the

warning is ignored you may experience difficulty lighting the appliance or the appliance may automatically switch

off for no apparent reason.

NOTE: The appliance cannot be used when the battery is completely flat.

TO REPLACE APPLIANCE BATTERIES (6 High Power Alkaline AA 1.5V)

(Rechargeable batteries can be used providing they are a nickel metal hydride type 1.5V AA with a minimum

capacity of 2200mAh).Using AA Lithium batteries will give more operations.

A. Lift off fret and ash pan.

B. The battery power pack or holder is located at the left hand side of

the burner; carefully slide the battery holder forward and replace

all six batteries as a complete set or recharge as appropriate.

WARNING, batteries will overheat if fitted incorrectly, when

fitting the batteries ensure that they are fitted as per the marking

on the rear of the holder (i.e. minus of battery against spring). If

rechargeable batteries are used they MUST be a Nickel Metal

Hydride type with a minimum capacity of 2200mAh.

C. Important: Place the battery pack or holder inside the insulation

blanket and ensure that it is placed to the left hand side of the appliance as shown and refit fret and ash

pan cover.

D. Once the new batteries are loaded the fire will continue to bleep until re-set. This can be done by

pressing the “off “ button on the handset followed by the normal ignition sequence as above. If the fire

continues to bleep this may indicate a loose connection or badly loaded batteries.

SECTION SEVEN Siting the Appliance (installation instructions)

The fire can be installed in the following flues and locations: -

CLASS ONE

A conventional brick or stone chimney as used for a solid fuel appliance with a typical effective cross-

sectional dimension of 225 x 225 mm (9 x 9 ins) or a lined flue with a minimum diameter of 125 mm (5 ins)

Fireplace opening must be 552 mm - 578 mm high by 380 mm – 435 mm wide (or up to 458 mm if the cable

fixing system is used).

The opening depth must be a minimum of 215 mm to allow sufficient volume for debris collection (this

depth may be reduced to 185 mm if the chimney is new or has never been used for solid fuel or oil before).

To obtain this depth it may be necessary to remove the chairbrick.

Note: spacers are available in 20mm and 43mm to further reduce the opening depth if required (if a

spacer is used then the thickness of the spacer must be added to the minimum 300mm hearth depth to

comply with regulations.

Any permanent flue restriction or variable dampers are to be removed or locked fully open. The chimney

should be swept prior to installation if not new.

CLASS TWO PRE-CAST

A pre-cast flue conforming to the requirements of BS 1289 part 1 & 2

A suitable fire resisting fire surround will be required, spaced out to

the correct thickness, between the face of the flue blocks and the rear

of the appliance frame. IMPORTANT: - the flue restrictor plate must

be removed when the appliance is installed in this type of flue.

Note: An inspection should be made to ensure that the internal walls

of the flue are clear of mortar fangs. It is recommended that the

plasterwork should not be directly bonded to the surface of the flue

blocks, ensuring that there is a small air gap between the flue blocks

and the wall surface. The fire can be installed with the plasterwork

being directly bonded to the flue blocks but there is a risk of surface

cracking occurring to the plaster above the appliance.

IMPORTANT: - the flue restrictor plate must be removed when the appliance is installed in this

type of flue.

Note: A brick or stone chimney with a 125 mm (5 ins) minimum diameter flue liner conforming to BS 715

may be used. Provided a suitable sealing plate is fitted to the base of the liner and the appliance does not

restrict the opening into the liner.

Dampers or register plates must not restrict any of the above flues. The flue must only service a single

appliance and not have any branches or traps, which may impede the natural draught. If a terminal is fitted

it must be suitable for the purpose.

SECTION EIGHT Fireplace Requirements (installation instructions)

A flat face of 605 mm high x 500 mm wide must be provided around the fireplace opening for the

fixing of the appliance to ensure that a good seal is formed. The base of the fire opening must be

flat to ensure sound fixing of the appliance.

A non-combustible hearth must be provided beneath the appliance within the fireplace opening, a

fire-resisting hearth must also be provided symmetrically disposed about the fireplace opening a

minimum thickness of 12 mm with the perimeter 50mm above floor level. The width must extend

a minimum of 150 mm either side of the fireplace opening and a depth of 300 mm (+ thickness of

spacer if a spacer is used).

Purpose-built superimposed fire-resistant hearths and back panels, specified as suitable by the

manufacturers, may be used, or a suitable proprietary fire surround with a 100oC rating.

Hole in the Wall Installation

Please read these instructions carefully if you intend an Installation without a hearth.

This appliance must be installed in accordance with all relevant sections of approved document “J” of the

building regulations

It is recommended that a non-combustible hearth extends a minimum of 300mm forward of the fire

opening and a minimum of 150mm either side, and that a rise exist at the front edge and sides of the

hearth of a minimum of 50mm.

The fire may be installed so that its base sits on a surface of a fire opening at least 105 mm up from the

floor (this is to ensure that no flame or incandescent material is less than 225mm above the floor, a

requirement of approved document “J”). Where this is the case a means must be provided to support the


fret this may typically be meet with a small projecting hearth of minimum 100mm.Unless

the fret is fixed to the appliance or is an integral part of the fascia of the appliance.

Consideration should be given to the location of the appliance ensuring it is very visible and it should be

positioned at a height were it can clearly be seen on approach.

Frets, and Fascias used for HOLE in the WALL must be compliant with Paragon Fires CE approval; these are

listed at the end of this page.

Where the fire is fitted as a “Hole in the Wall” without a hearth the installer MUST ensure the appliance is

fixed firmly into the opening to ensure no movement takes place to the fuel bed when the appliance

controls are operated.

The installer MUST ensure that the fuel bed is laid correctly and securely

The installer MUST advise the user that care should be taken when the appliance is in use to ensure

occupants do not get unnecessarily close to the appliance or position furniture or other appliances to close.

The installer MUST remind user of the requirement to fit a “secure fireguard” where the room is used by

elderly, infirm or young persons.

The installer MUST explain to the user that the area immediately in front of the appliance must always be

keep clear of combustible items other than the floor covering (which must be fixed)

In the case of the Pebble fuel bed an alternative layout for “Hole in the Wall” must be followed refer to

page 10 in this Manual, this alternative layout MUST adhered to for ALL HOLE in the WALL installations

20 LT5050 (ISS 14)

CLEARANCE TO SHELF

Minimum clearance from hearth to underside of combustible shelf should be 700mm provided shelf depth 150mm

or less. This height may be reduced to 640mm for a shelf depth of 100mm or less

When the shelf depth is increased by increments of 12.5 mm greater than 150mm, add 25mm to the 700mm

minimum clearance.

CLEARANCE TO SIDES OF FIRE

Minimum width between vertical sides of combustible surround should not be less than 700mm provided fire is

central to surround and sides do not project more than 150 mm. When vertical side forward projection is increased

by 12.5 mm add 50 mm to inside width of surround.

N.B. When fire is fitted this provides a minimum side clearance of 100mm.

Care should be taken to prevent any damage being caused to surrounding soft furnishings or decoration, e.g. many

embossed vinyl wall coverings may become discoloured if placed too close to the appliance.

VENTILATION

In the United Kingdom no special ventilation bricks or vents are required into the room containing the appliance,

provided normal adventitious room ventilation exists. The installer must satisfy this point by carrying out a

mandatory spillage test.

In the Republic of Ireland permanent ventilation must comply with the rules in force

SECTION NINE To Install the Appliance (installation instructions)

EXAMINE FLUE / CHIMNEY

Check that the flue/chimney conforms to the required specifications as previously stated. Examine the condition

and carry out any remedial work. If the flue/chimney has been used for solid fuel or oil, it should be swept prior to

appliance installation. A smoke test must be carried out to check that satisfactory smoke clearance has been

established. If all the smoke is not drawn into the flue, pre-heat the flue with a blowtorch or similar and re-check. If

there is any uncertainty examine for the cause and, if necessary, seek expert advice.

CONNECTING THE GAS SUPPLY

Determine where the gas supply is to be connected to the appliance. This may be done from the front of the unit

from either the left or right side, or a concealed fitting from the rear.


GAS CONCEALED CONNECTION

If the supply is to be a concealed connection it would be advisable to route 8mm O/D half hard copper tube to the

rear right side of the fireplace opening, taking into account the requirements of BS 6891 1988 dealing with enclosed

pipes. Form the tube so that it enters the fire via the blind grommet at the rear of the appliance. A 8mm restrictor

elbow can be positioned under the burner assembly on the right-hand side connected to the gas supply pipe and its

outlet connected to the gas appliance.

Note: pipework in the opening of the fireplace to the rear of the appliance must be suitably wrapped in accordance

with the regulations.

GAS CONNECTION FROM THE FRONT

Connections may be made from the front of the appliance from either the left or right in 8-mm diameter pipe. If a

left-hand connection is required the tube should be routed behind the bezel plate under the gas control tap and

onto the inlet elbow. The inlet elbows should be rotated to the required position. A suitable isolating cock should

always be fitted in the supply feed to the fire to facilitate servicing.

FIXING FIRE INTO OPENING

Remove the paper backing from the length of foam seal and stick it around the rear flange of fire. If a spacer is going

to be used stick the second length (supplied with the spacer kit) around the rear face of the spacer unit, THE FOAM

SEAL MUST BE POSITIONED TO ENSURE AN AIR TIGHT SEAL WHEN THE APPLIANCE IS FITTED.

NOTE: -DO NOT USE PERAMENT SEALING COMPONDS i.e. SILICON SEALANT. THIS COULD CAUSE THE APPLIANCE

TO BE DAMAGED WHEN IT IS REMOVED FOR SERVICING, AND COULD INVALIDATE THE WARRENTY.

If the spacer is not being used, mark position of flange hole in the fireplace front drill and fix firebox in position with

wall plugs and wood screws. If spacer is being used fix the spacer to the fireplace first with wood screws and wall

plugs then screw firebox to spacer box using screws provided.

OPTIONAL CABLE FIXING SYSTEM (Available on request from PARAGON FIRES)

(for use when fixing to 18" openings or when it is

desirable not to drill the fireplace fascia) it may not be

possible to use the cable fixing system with some pre-

cast flues.

CHECKING OPERATION OF FIRE

• Remove ash pan cover.

• Remove the screw from the pressure test point on the inlet elbow and fit pressure gauge.

• Turn on the gas to the appliance.

• Purge the air from the appliance by operating the appliance (see Section 2). The appliance will spark for

approximately 20 second at which point if no ignition is detected the appliance will go to lock out and you

must repeat the ignition procedure.

• Check that the electrode is sparking at the gap between the thermocouple tip and the electrode and that the

pilot ignition is established. After approximately 20 seconds the main burner will light on the high setting.

• Check the inlet pressure is 20 + 1 mbar for Natural Gas (G20) and at 37 ±1 mbar for Propane (G31).

• Refit pressure test point screw and check for leaks.

• Refit ash pan cover.

CHECKING PRODUCT CLEARANCE

Check for satisfactory clearance of combustion products. Close all doors and windows and leave fire burning for 5

minutes. Then position a smoke match just into the top of the fire opening and move it left and right, all the smoke

must be drawn into the flue. If spillage occurs, allow a further 5 minutes. Should spillage still occur, remove

appliance restrictor plate if still fitted and repeat spillage test. If spillage still occurs turn off the fire and seek expert

advice.

If an extractor fan is situated in the room this test should be repeated with the fan running. If there is a connected

room with an extractor fan, the test should be repeated with all the doors to that room opened and the extractor

fan running.

COMPLETION OF INSTALLATION

Fit the decorative trim with the four magnetic strips placed two on each vertical side flange of the firebox - one at

the top and one at the bottom. Offer the decorative trim up squarely and centrally and push back into position.

Position a suitable fire fret up to the front of the appliance ensuring that it meets the specification referred to

earlier.

Demonstrate the lighting and extinguishing procedures to the user and the removal and refitting of the decorative

trim and fret for cleaning.

ADVISE CUSTOMER THAT:

• This appliance has a naked flame, as with all such fires it is recommended that a fireguard should be used for

the protection of children, the elderly and infirm. Fireguards should conform to BS 6539 (1984) (Fireguards

for use with solid fuel appliances).
